My article titled "Merry and Meaningful Holidays" ran in the November/December 2006 issue of Today’s Christian Womanmagazine. In it I share timeless ideas for celebrating the Christmas season with your family and friends. Read it at ChristianityToday.com.Today's Christian Woman is available at most Christian bookstores or online.

Creative ideas from my book Inspirational Home were featured in the September/October 2006 issue of Fresh Outlook magazine. The article titled "Inspirational Home Decor" highlights several projects for the home complete with instructions and materials lists. Look for Fresh Outlook at Wal-mart, Books-a-million, Barnes & Noble, many grocery stores and Christian bookstores. Visit them online at www.freshoutlookmag.com.

My first national television appearance on Family Net’s At Home-Live!included a demonstration of ideas from my book.Here's a photo of me with Jenni Borsellino, co-host. (I was on the same day as noted Christian author Dee Brestin, which was an added treat!)

"Create a House of Faith" is also published by Christian Women Today. This article explores simple projects to decorate your home with scripture. Visit this webzine geared towards Christian women but covering a wealth of topics any woman would find beneficial!

The opportunity to share my story at MOPS events and women's retreats is a blessing. I often present "Your Home Tells Your Story" and sometimes a craft is offered. One group did a decoupage holiday plate, taken from my book, and used holiday patterned tissue and wrapping paper, along with printed scriptures to decorate clear glass plates.

I'm honored to have been written up in The Wall Street Journal, Christian Retailing, The Post Crescent and the Register Citizen. Several radio personalities have brought me on around Christmas to discuss my ideas for meaningful holidays.

A number of craft and decorating publications, both printed and online, have featured ideas from my blog as well as profiled my art studio. Thank you!
